Review of A Most Violent Year (2014) by Danburrito — 30 Sep 2016
Led by a typically committed performance from Oscar Isaac, A Most Violent Year is a dark, gritty crime drama, and one of 2014's best films. Isaac continues to establish himself as one of his generation's finest actors, and Jessica Chastain and Albert Brooks shine in their supporting roles.
JC Chandor directs the film exceptionally, and while some may find the pacing too slow, it's well-worth watching for those who liked Chandor's previous films and are fans of Isaac and Chastain. Overall, A Most Violent Year is a great film with superb performances, great writing and expert direction.
A most remarkable film.
